Using the Netflix Odata service with WP71

I'm trying to use the Netflix Odata service with WP71 but it aint working. What's wrong with this code?

private const string NETFLIX_CATALOG_URI = "http://odata.netflix.com/v2/Catalog/";

public ObservableCollection<Title> SearchByTitle(string searchKey)
    {
        NetflixCatalog catalog = new NetflixCatalog(new Uri(NETFLIX_CATALOG_URI));

        var query = catalog.Titles.Where(t => t.Name.Contains(searchKey));

        DataServiceCollection<Title> titles = new DataServiceCollection<Title>(catalog);
        titles.LoadAsync(query);
        return titles;
    }

If you look at the HTTP request generated from your Linq, you will notice that the format is not supported by Netflix. It will work if you change it to:

var query = catalog.Titles.Where(t => t.Name.StartsWith(searchKey));

But, of course, it is not exactly the search you want... and I am looking for the answer on that too.
